I agree with David Waldman: Senator Lee was out of order

[servermsh]

Tomorrow’s impeachment session should begin with a warning to Senator Lee that he was in violation of the admonition to keep silence under Rule II, and that Senators will not be recognized for the purposes of making objections to evidence or testimony.

Also:

Lee claimed that he was making his objection pursuant to Rule XVI. Rule XVI makes no such allowance for objections from Senators sitting as jurors.

I was being kind. It SHOULD start with his imprisonment for violation of the very clear rule.

1. If I remember correctly, the admonition to remain silent

is on pain of imprisonment.

2. Rt TY!

3. he did it as a diversion

so it wouldn't end with such a strong lasting effect
